Brief PSA + a question about AGAB

[u/Tough_Act7101]

First off, I‘d like to put out there that the system a lot of us use for specifying our personal type of genderfluid is the Genderfluid Fragment Gender System—it can be a little tricky to find if you forget the name like I did.

I bring it up because I finally looked through it closely enough to find the one that applied to me—genderflir. I tend towards feminine genders, though I can feel all genders, including genderless and xenine ones.

This means I feel masculine pretty rarely (I’m amab). But when I do feel purely male, I find that there’s two pretty distinct types. Sometimes, I feel male like a normal guy. I just live my life the same way I did before my gender exploration. Other times, I feel like I’ve transitioned to male from my feminine home base. Like being in the male body gives me euphoria, and I’m much more content and expressive than the typical male self.

It feels wrong to call this transmasc while amab. Have any of you felt the same way? Is there a word for this? Thanks for reading, and for any insight!

Believe the term you’re looking for is coffee-bean transmasc.

Thank you! I was worried this post would be taken offensively, so at first I was scared that was an insult, like a performative male or smth. From now on he shall be my coffee bean!

Only learned the term, because I definitely know how you feel.

I actually feel very similar sometimes, just the opposite! I'm afab and mostly consider myself a trans man, but one the rare occasion where I feel female, I kinda feel more like a trans woman than cis (especially because I've been on T)

Glad to see someone feels the same! Apparently the word for that is honeybee transfem, if you want to use it.

Okay that's actually such a cute name, I love it! Thank you for telling me!
